Thank you Tt and Sheilar. The color is a lot darker than the picture.

This has been one of my favourite plants this year.

Watch out...this plant gets huge and takes over, big time.

Mine too Meanie, it's been blooming since spring and it just keeps going. I have a smaller one made from a cutting but the flowers on that one are not a dark blue as this one.
Could be the type or it could just be where it's planted???

OK Delonix....I need my plants to bush out a little. I don't want it to take over though.

It will tolerate heavy pruning.

It's a light blue and is the "dwarf" form.

Nice blog....I missed it.
Mine is in no way a "dwarf"....either of the two plants.
I will go take some pics later on in the day of the two plants.
(see if the camera can capture the difference in color).

I agree with Alexandramou! There's several forms of this plant. Sometimess light blue, dark blue and white. They all grow to be huge! I see them along the freeways here every day.

They grow on your freeways there?!?!?! Only in gardens here but they give such a splash of color!

Yes, they grow everywhere. I've seen many hundreds of huge plants, just today. It's a weed here...each large shrubby-vine produces many thousands of seeds.
You'll see when you have hundreds of seedlings popping up everywhere in your yard. I don't ever want one of these plants in my yard because I'd never get rid of all the seedlings.

This is a beautiful plumbago....But here in south of french
it is not so necessary to protect her except some very cold winter

I'm not protecting the plant with the wood shavings Rayd2b...I'm trying to keep the weeds down!!! The weeds grow like crazy!
Plumbago's grow very well here on Corfu.
